20140361945 | RADIO-FREQUENCY TRANSPARENT WINDOW - A patch for a device in an electronic housing including an aluminum layer having a threshold thickness, a non-conductive layer on a first side of the aluminum layer, and a radio-frequency (RF) transparent layer on a second side of the aluminum layer is provided. A method for manufacturing an antenna window including a patch as above is also provided, the method including determining a thickness of the aluminum layer adjacent to an anodized aluminum layer. A method for manufacturing an antenna window including coating an aluminum layer having a threshold thickness on a radio-frequency (RF) transparent layer to form an RF transparent laminate is also provided. A method for manufacturing an antenna window including removing a thickness of aluminum is also provided. A method for manufacturing an antenna window including disposing a mask on an aluminum substrate and anodizing the aluminum substrate to a selected thickness is also provided. | 12-11-2014 |
20150070236 | Electronic Device With Electromagnetic Shielding Structures - A wireless electronic device may be provided with components such as electrical and structural components. During transmission of radio-frequency signals, antennas and wireless communications circuitry of the wireless electronic device may produce associated time-varying magnetic fields. One or more components may be covered with magnetic-resistant shield structures that protect the components from the time-varying magnetic fields by preventing magnetic-induced vibrations. The magnetic-resistant shield structures may include a conductive base layer such a layer of brass. A magnetic-resistant layer may be plated onto the conductive base layer. The magnetic-resistant layer may be formed from an amorphous nickel-phosphorous alloy. The amorphous nickel-phosphorous alloy may be produced by controlling the manufacturing temperature and proportion of phosphorous in the alloy while performing the plating operations within a length of time that ensures non-equilibrium conditions during the plating operations. | 03-12-2015 |
20150118512 | METHODS FOR PRODUCING WHITE APPEARING METAL OXIDE FILMS BY POSITIONING REFLECTIVE PARTICLES PRIOR TO OR DURING ANODIZING PROCESSES - The embodiments described herein relate to anodic films and methods for forming anodic films. The methods described can be used to form anodic films that have a white appearance. Methods involve positioning reflective particles on or within a substrate prior to or during an anodizing process. The reflective particles are positioned within the metal oxide of the resultant anodic film but substantially outside the pores of the anodic film. The reflective particles scatter incident light giving the resultant anodic film a white appearance. | 04-30-2015 |

In some embodiments, an anodized film having light diffusing micro-cracks created by a laser cracking procedure is described. In some embodiments, a sputtered layer of light diffusing aluminum is provided below an anodized film. In some embodiments, light diffusing particles are infused within openings of an anodized layer. | 06-25-2015 |
20150368786 | METALLIC COATING FIXED STATOR TIP TREATMENT - A tip region of an airfoil has a wear coating that is deposited using physical vapor deposition in conjunction with a mechanical mask. The mask is positioned with respect to the region portion of the tip to expose only a portion of the tip region to be coated. A physical vapor deposition coating source such as cathode arc (CAT ARC) is used to coat the exposed portion of the tip region with the wear coating. | 12-24-2015 |
